English is funny language

Last weekend, I felt like eating Indian food. As you know we have been eating really healthy for the past few months but from time to time we do crave others food. So we decided to go out for lunch to the Indian place in Parramatta.

We drove to the restaurant and ordered Vegetarian dosa, a few curries and Naan bread. AS suggested we order chicken dosa but I remembered that the last time I had chicken dosa, I didn’t like it.

When the food arrived we were happy. We had naan and curry and veg dosa was the last to arrive.Helensburgh (17)

Both I and AS were disappointed with the dosa as it was nothing like the one we normally have.

On the way home, we were still talking about the food.

Me: “I didn’t like the feeling after we ate. It wasn’t like before.

AS:  “I know, the filling was not like before.

Me:  “I know . I think it was too oily as I am not feeling very good.

AS: (Starts laughing.) I know how you are feeling but I was talking about the filing, the aloo (potatoes) in the dosa 😀

Indeed English is a funny language 🙂

Ugly Vs ugli

AS teases me sometimes that I don’t know Nepali very well. I get annoyed because I find myself to be good in Nepali language but sometimes I do and say something to prove him right.

Normally we communicate in a mix of English and Nepal. I have to admit I can’t communicate in Nepal only but I try my best to talk in Nepali to prove him wrong.

While watching a movie,

Me: “ohoo tyo herion ta kasto ugly rahecha” (ohoo the actress is so ugly)

AS: “I like her, she looks alright”

Me:”I like her too but she is so ugly”

AS started laughing because he realised that I was trying to say ugli (tall in Nepali) but when mixed in an English sentence it sounded like ugly instead.

The pitfalls of speaking using two languages 😦

Please share your experience in this matter.

Take care everyone ,

Where is the umbrella?

It was very hot the other day so AS was making drinks for us. He was in the kitchen while I was watching TV.

AS: ”Where’s the umbrella honey?”

Me: (Fully concentrating on what I was watching) “Babe, one is in the car and other is in the store room.”

AS started laughing and so did I after I realised he was talking about the decorative umbrella for our drinks while I was talking about the real one 🙂

Blind

Early morning we both rush to get ready so we can leave home on time as I really don’t want to waste 30 minutes sitting in traffic.

As I was running around the house and as I walk passed hubby in the kitchen, I saw on the mirror that he was looking (read staring) at me. I turned around.

Me: “Why are you staring at me?”

AS:” “What do you mean, I am not.”

Me: “I saw you looking at me, when I looked in the mirror.”

As: “I can’t even see you properly without my glasses/lenses.”

We both laughed . Oops, he was just staring at nothing thinking about something else. Hope it is my Christmas gift  🙂

Tummy tyre

Last night, we were watching TV after dinner. Hubby was snacking on tit-bits and I really wanted him to stop.

Me: “Stop eating otherwise you will get a tyre around your tummy.”

AS: “Ohoo, that is great so I can roll on the street and don’t need to walk.”

I couldn’t stop my reaction and we both ended up laughing.
